On stage

My arm is locked around my dad’s, as we walk down the aisle, well, it was more of a waddle for me, anyway, the whole time I was laughing at the corny things my dad was saying in my ear, and staring my husband right in the eyes,
“who gives this woman?” the man said
“I do, her father” my dad said, a tear falling from his eyes, mine too, I turn to him, kiss him on the cheek and wipe away his tear, letting out a giggle, along with everyone else, and then he walked away, and sat by my mom, giving her a kiss, I smiled, I hope me and kuza have a marriage like mom and dad,
“Friends, we have joined here today to share with mike and Naomi, an important moment in their lives. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one.” The man said, and I couldn’t help but smile as he told us to share our vows, which of course we rote our own,
“I promise to always comfort you when the Steelers lose a game, and celebrate with you when they win” everyone laughed and Chris cheered, “all silliness aside” I continued, “You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you, the feeling hit me the moment we made eye contact backstage at a motionless in white concert, It was so immediate and powerful, far deeper and inexplicably beyond any calculation of time and place. You don't describe a feeling like that. You also can't replicate it or force it. You just let it flow in and around you. You go where it takes you, I see these vows not as promises but as privileges, because I get to laugh with you and cry with you, care for you and share with you, I get to run with you and walk with you, build with you and live with you.” I wiped my eyes, and he starts his vows,
“Naomi, from the moment our paths crossed, you’ve surprised me, distracted me, captivated me, and challenged me in a way that no human being ever has, I’ve fallen in love with you again and again, countless times, and I still can’t believe today, that I get to marry my best friend, I promise you will always come first, and if you don’t for some reason, I will buy you shoes, I promise to kill the spiders, I promise to not buy supreme pizza, because I know you don’t like the veggies, I will kiss the paper cuts, and fingers that have been jammed in the door, and your hip when you clumsily bump it into the counter, I promise to not get annoyed when you whisper questions during the movies, I will check your tire pressure, and tell you when to take your car in, but above all, I promise to love you always, and hold your hand, and never let it go, I’m prepared for bumpy spots, but with you in my life, nothing can go wrong” he finished, and now I was conflicted on laughing and crying, because his whole vows were funny, until the end, they were so sweet,
“the rings please” the man says, as my little cousin brings the rings on a tiny pillow, the man removes both of them, and hands one to kuza,
“I give you this ring, as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you” he says, sliding the ring on my finger, then the man hands me kuzas ring,
“I give you this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you” I say, putting the ring on my husband’s finger,
“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride” the man says, and kuza leans over my huge belly, and softly kisses my lips,
“I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Mike kuza” the man says, as kuza picks me up and carries me down the aisle, followed my Chris throwing Copeland over his shoulder and walking her down the aisle, everyone laughed as we got to the reception tent,
“I love you so much” kuza says, kissing the tip of my nose and setting me down, as the wedding guest pour in, and then vic and the guys started playing their song kissing in cars, and me and kuza had our first dance, and the song daughters by john Mayer started to play, which surprised me, because that’s not really my dad’s type of music, but I loved every second of it, and when it was over, my dad kissed my forehead, and gave my hand back to my husband, then made me laugh by saying,
“be careful, you will be living in my back yard”
We then went back onto the beach to take wedding photos, it was me, mom, dad, kuza, Chris, and Copeland, I don’t know where kuzas parents are, he didn’t want them to come and I left it at that, we took pictures for what seemed like forever, then finally went back inside, and ate, then kuza wanted to dance again, we got up, and made our way to the dancefloor, and started dancing, and I felt something wet run down my leg, my eyes grew wide,
“what happened?” kuza asked,
“I-I think my water broke” I stuttered, but he could barely hear me, and started flailing his arms till the music stopped,
“babe, what happened?” he asked again, fear lacing every word,
“my-my water” I said,
“oh no, ANDY!” he screamed, and my dad came running, along with my mom,
“what’s wrong?” he asked,
“I think her water broke” kuza said, and soon everyone was circled around us, and I was on my knees groaning in pain,
“come on angel face” Chris said, picking me up and running me to the car, my mom, dad, and kuza got in the car, vic, mike, tony, Jamie, kellin, Copeland, kaitlynne, Ricky, josh,gohst, angelo, ryan, alex, jack, Ashley, cc, jake, and jinxx, all got into other cars and we were all on our way to the hospital, were having a baby!
“god damn it!” I screamed as dad hit a huge bump in the road,
“I’m sorry baby” he said from the driver’s seat,
“somebody fucking call Juliet, she is my damn nurse!” I said, kuza got my phone and called her,
“hello? Juliet?” he said,
“yea, yea, were on our way to the hospital, yea, she’s definitely in labor! Okay, yea, ok, see you there” he said, and hung up the phone,
“how ya feeling?” my mom said,
“how the fuck does it look like in feeling?” I screamed at her,
“hey, you did this to me at one point in time too, don’t be salty!” she said, and I death glared her, she returned her attention to her phone, and the pain went away,
“feeling better baby?” kuza asked,
“yea, for now” I said,
“you’re a bitch when you’re in pain” Chris said from the back seat, causing kuza to smack him,
“what? I was just saying!” he defended, as we pulled up to the hospital, everyone was already there still in wedding attire,
“come on, they already have your stuff set up in a room” Ricky said, swooping me up off my feet,
We got in the room, and Juliet was there, with all of her stuff, she took an ultrasound, and did some other stuff,
“ok, now you know that I can only do so much, then the nurses from this hospital have to take over right?” I nodded,
“ok, so I’ll help you fill out some paperwork, but first, there are too many people in this room, everyone but mom out!” she said, leaving me her and my mom in the room,
“okay, so who all do you want in the room, they have set a max at 6 people, but you’re lucky cause its normally three”
“mom, dad, kuza, Ricky, Alex, and Jake” I said, she asked a few more questions, and then another nurse came in,
“oh dear, you’re ready!” she said,
“what!?” I screamed,
“the babies are coming” she said, as the rest of the guys walked into the room, it might have been weird for any other girl to have 5 guys in the delivery room, but it’s different with us, we are so close, and I didn’t care what they saw,
“you guys will have to get changed” she said, handing them each a set of scrubs, they all came back, and the dr walkedin the room,
“ok, big push, one, to the push” he said, and I pushed as hard as I could,
“I see the head, come on, one, two three, push!” he said again, and again,
“it’s a boy!” Ricky screamed,
“ok, next one, comeon Naomi, give me another big push” he said, and I did, over and over again,
“it’s another boy!” kuza says, as they hand him the baby,
“alright, last one, come on, push” the dr says again, and I swear I’m gonna throat punch him soon,
“alright, last one, push!” he says, then hands the baby to my dad,
“it’s a girl!” he says, crying, theyclean the baby’s, and then we all take a picture,
“ok, baby a, what is his name?” the nurse says,
“landon James kuza” I say, and she writes it down,
“baby b?” she asks,
“koda andrew kuza” I tell her, smiling, as my dad realizes I used his name for my baby’s middle name,
“and baby c?” she asks again,
“ violet mae kuza” I said, yawning,
“let’s take them outside to meet the rest of the guys” I said, kuza grabbing landon, and dad grabbing koda, while I carried violet,
“everyone, meet landon, koda, and violet” dad says, as soon as we walked out the guys stopped pacing, it was funny really, I mean I consider them all my uncles, but to them, I’m like their daughter, they all took turns, passing the baby’s around, and then the nurse says it’s time to feed them, mom shows me how to make a bottle, and I give one to kuza, and one to Ricky, and take one, and sit on the bed, smiling as I hear all my babies eating, we burp them, then put them in their tiny cribs, and everyone leaves the room except me and kuza, he crawls in the bed with me and I fall peacefully asleep, for about thirty minutes, then koda cries, making the others cry too, I change their diapers, with the help of kuza, and they go back to sleep peacefully.
